Transcriber's Note:
Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation in the original document have been preserved.
On page [153], "corrival" should possibly be "co-rival".
On page [201], "Que ne fut rien" should possibly be "Qui ne fut rien".
On page [269], the phrase "with a strange, most ponderous, yet delicate expression in the big, dull-glowing black eyes and it" possibly contains a typo.
